Experiences - Cautionary Tales

[olduncle]

SWIwe've all got 'em - concurrently instructive and humorous, frightening, or enlightening.

For example:

Someone who wasn't Ralph fed his dog back in 1974. As usual, he cracked an egg, mixed it in with the kibbles & bits, then, as usual, went in the other room to oil up.

The egg on his fingertips made it into the shot he didn't cook, and he died of salmonella three days later.

Makes SWIY think about cold shots, soap & water, and other things, eh?

Yeeh SWIM kept dirty shots 3 daze in a row. When he started wondering why, he discovered a tiny paper cut on his index finger, the 1 he made his filter with. SWIM (on the Advice of his Doc) has since stoppred using filters or when he does he ALL-WAYS SWabbs his fingers!
SWIM also nearly died of a burst "Berri-Aneurysm" that the Surgeons told him was caused by a Dirty Whack!
IF you get a strange Echo-y puls in Your Head (as SWIM did) you may be ripe for a protracted stay on th Cutting board.
n.b/P.s. SWIM was on the "slab" for 13 hours as they pushed his brain around and 'clipped" the break. SWIM was in an single room as he had full Ins Cover. How-ever the next person in SWIMS Bed was SWIMs girl-friends work-mates Mother. She went in for a Stroke. She left with Her toes turned up. But it wasn't the Stroke that Killed her, She died of a Golden Staph infection.
SWIM dodged 2 bullets then. SWIM went and bought several lotto tickets but had appparently used up His Quota of luck by then.
That was in 88. SWIM still suffers from Migraines (NOT Head-aches!) so please people be care-ful. Swim was young and thought he was bullet proof. Swim discovered that although you can dodge a few, if your not care-full, you won't hear the "SHOT" that kills You!
Dee-Dee Ramone (R.I.P) relates that Sid Vicious used a dirty toilet to "back-load a hit of Sped and surprise surprise, Sid was froting green foam and convolsing on the toilet floor i few mis later. Sid wasn't care-ful. Sid wasn't bullet-proof. (Niether ws Nancy Spugen! btw)
SWIM loves/d Douglas Colvin (Dee-Dee, R.i.P) ....
but Sid Vic was an exploding Dim-Wit, in S.H.O!!!
